I KNOW! It's completely useless doing past papers as well because the specimen has changed so much since then, so we've got no past papers to practise with either :frown::frown: BUT, I'm hoping since we are the first year doing the new specimen, MAYBE the exam board will be a little lenient with us?? Oh who am I kidding:afraid:


Haha yeah hopefully! :smile: There's only to hoping that the paper will be relatively straight forward! Which topics are you hoping will come up in the long answer questions for Paper 2? I hope it's not ecology/biodiversity because I honestly haven't studied it properly so :s-smilie:

Honestly, at this rate I don't even know what I'll be able to answer and what I won't be able to! :s-smilie:
I've been looking through topics 1-11 every day for around 4 weeks so I think I have reasonably okay knowledge in almost every topic. I particularly like human and animal physiology cos it's more relatable to me than something about a plant :confused: I don't really like ecology or biodiversity either haha
Friendly reminder that we are not allowed to talk about the English Paper 2 for the next 24h!
how did econ SL people find p1? I did q1 and q3! thought the micro ones were a bit poop but managed to evaluate subsidies alright I suppose.... was sort of praying for externalities!

How did people find their English HL paper 2? Does anyone do dramas? :smile:


Paper 2 was decent - i answered question 3. But when I finished the exam I realised I missed out on few good points :/ What about yourself?

In that case, I'm sure you did/will do fine! :smile: and same here, I much prefer human physiology too! Is that what your school is doing for the option topic in Paper 3?

I found Paper 1 easier than Paper 2 but both were okay overall! I did manage to get down some real life examples but I don't think there was enough tbh :s-smilie:
Did anyone have bio papers 1 and 2 today?

Haha I hope I did fine!! No we're doing the ecology option, but it's easy enough I suppose. Last bio exam tomorrow I can't wait!

me too!! some questions really threw me :frown:
Oh! Glad to know I'm not the only one who struggled with the exams. It seemed this year biology papers were quite tougher than past ones. Really hoping Paper 3 to save me tomorrow!
